Trivia

I apologize for removing trivia, but the majority of what I removed was from articles about movies. A lot of that trivia is from IMDb which, from what I've been told, is an unreliable source. If you like, I can revert all the deletions I did. Pinkadelica (talk) 11:47, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I have reviewed this editor's trivia deletions going back to December 1, 2007 and reverted the deletions (but kept the useful edits) as I considered appropriate - the issues is further discussed at Wikipedia talk:Trivia sections. Wikidemo (talk) 20:33, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

DRM page quotation

W, I took nearly all the information you queried, including the EFF quote from a New Scientist article and my notes (written down at the library) didn't include the vol/nr/page info. I was the despair of my high school research report teacher, and college profs weren't too happy with me either. I've been considering ending it all for decades as a result.

Anyway, it was from the middle of (now) last year though, as I was chasing another article from about that time. I suppose I can find it again, though not for several days yet. I had hoped someone would know the source and fill in the details so lamentably lacking in my mental makeup. ww (talk) 18:08, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

User:Huwjones7

Hi Warren, I've blocked this user for persistent insertion of inappropriate material. It is obvious that he/she is trying to push an agenda and was not going to discuss this. If they start again after the 24 hour block expires I will block them for a longer period. Thanks for your help and diligence, Gwernol 20:44, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Edit warring at Mac OS X

Consider this a final warning for edit warring on Mac OS X (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Such behaviour and editing is detrimental to Wikipedia as a whole, and I am willing to block in order to prevent further damage. Please seek dispute resolution with the other parties: discuss with them the issues, file a Request for Comment, seek a third opinion or seek informal mediation. No matter what, this cannot continue. I have protected the article for a period of 3 weeks; if this dispute is not resolved by that time, I still do not expect to see edit warring of any kind. Anthøny 17:41, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Ultima-sidebar

You mean for the articles on the games themselves (it wasn't apparent which articles you referred to)? Yes, I agree with you that what you addressed is in fact an issue. I noticed that myself and have nothing against your edits. For the other Ultima articles, however, I think the sidebar is very suitable. Regards Miqademus (talk) 00:57, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Infoboxes at top

Regarding this edit, where is it said that templates like the unreferenced one should go on top of infoboxes? I changed it so it didn't overlap the infobox and space the article so that the template box touches the infobox at the top, it definitely looks better. Is there an MOS page or something that specifies that the unreferenced should go above it? -Mike Payne (T • C) 20:00, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Rollback

Hello Warren, I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck. Acalamari 19:47, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome, and don't worry about only using it occasionally. :) It's there for when you need it. Acalamari 17:12, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Windows Longhorn Build 5048.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Windows Longhorn Build 5048.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 04:25, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Windows 2000 Article

This is starting to get very irritating Warrens. Appearently, you are very mistaken about this whole thing. First of all, Windows 2000 is still a supported operating system. This means that it still is still recieving security updates and phone support from Microsoft. An example of a "Discontinued Product" is one like Windows 98. Not only is Windows 98 no longer sold in stores, but it is also no longer supported by Microsoft. We had settled this during the summer, however, you still do not seem to listen nor care. Look at the discussion page for the article and read what it says. I seem to recall that we had settled on the fact that Windows 2000 is still considered a supported product, thus it is not discontinued. I also do not agree that this product is no longer available on the retail market. I recently have come across several copies of Windows 2000 Pro for sale in a few local computer shops in my area including Micro Center, don't know if you have ever heard of it, but it is a well known store. It is also is still avaiable from Microsoft as a download for subscribers of the MSDN Academic Alliance, so I really do not think it is discontinued. Also of note, I think we should stop using the term discontinued. Yes, it is correct in its usage which is what you seem to be stuck on. Yes, you are using the word correctly, but it is not the correct word to use in an article like this. Microsoft themselves do not use this term. Look at the Lifecycle Website. They do not even use this term. To Microsoft, a product is either supported, whether that is mainstream or extended, or end of life (unsupported). This term is really of little relavence, Microsoft still provides some support for the product and it is still avalable in limited quantities. You are wrong on this one buddy. It looks to me you have way too much time on your hands. Is Wikipedia your life, or do you have a real job? For some reason, I feel that you have a strong dislike for Windows 2000 and this is your reasoning, but I really do not know you so I could be wrong. Please take this all into consideration, and accept that you are wrong in this circumstance, and move on. Thanks. Jdlowery (talk) 01:17, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

This is not a settled issue Warrens, you just do not listen, did you even read the message I left here above? If not, go to the discussion page for the Windows 2000 article and read what is there. to me, you seem to not even care to take notice of the evidence I have given you. If you can't agree, than just leave the article alone, and I'll do the same. I really do not know what else to say to you. Jdlowery (talk) 23:51, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Windows Server 7

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Windows Server 7, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

A draft is not a technology

I don't know how well you know the W3C standardization process. A draft is a document. Downloadable fonts and text shadow are technologies described in such drafts.

Putting it slightly differently, a draft in W3C jargon is a term used when a standard is at a certain stage. Besides, downloadable fonts and text-shadow per se are more stable than the term draft would imply. They are singled out as being on the call for implementation stage, as per the discussion within the working group. However, they are part of documents that as a whole is no further than the draft stage.

And yes, I've read the drafts. Actually I've read almost every spec on CSS, HTML and a few other technologies that the W3C publishes. I also participate (mostly lurking, though) on the W3C CSS list and I've contributed to the CSS WG wiki.

Maybe "technology" is not the best word. Feel free to find a better one. CSS is a declarative markup language, though. In my book that is a technology. One thing CSS cannot be is a "draft".--itpastorn (talk) 23:03, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

hi

Warren, saw your entry at MOSNUM talk, and that you're something of an expert in the field of computers. Are you aware of the as-yet unsuccessful pushes to have the date-autoformatting function disentangled from the blue-splash linking function at MediaWiki? I wonder whether you're able to contribute technically, since the debate, which appears to have languished again, appears to have faltered on the technicalities. [1] Tony (talk) 04:43, 23 March 2008 (UTC) Please reply on my page. Tony (talk) 04:45, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Tony, thanks for the message. I haven't been keeping up with technical advancements in Wikipedia lately, but I will look into it since this is an area that definitely interests me... I'd love to see a simple and sensible solution to preference-driven date-linking on Wikipedia that isn't frustrating to editors. -/- Warren 04:55, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
